What is Extended Optical Zoom (EZ)?
If, for example, set to [3M
of a 3M-sized central part of a 14 M (equivalent to 14.1 million pixels) area, meaning
that the picture can be enlarged further.
●
The zoom ratio and the zoom bar displayed on the screen are estimates.
●
In certain Recording Modes, "Tele macro" function (→42) is activated when maximum
zoom ratio is reached.
●
A greater degree of distortion may be generated by taking wider-angled pictures of
close objects, while using more telescopic zoom may result in more coloring appearing
around the outlines of objects.
●
The camera may make a rattling noise and vibrate when the zoom lever is operated -
this is not a fault.
●
Extended Optical Zoom cannot be used in the following cases:
[Macro Zoom], motion picture, [Transform], [High Sens.], [Hi-Speed Burst], [Flash
Burst], [Pin Hole], and [Photo Frame] Scene Modes
